WRITING CENTER

The Writing Center is a free tutoring service for Upper Iowa University students.
We offer across-the-curriculum writing assistance at any stage of the writing process--brainstorming,
outlining, drafting, or revising. Our Writing Consultants are trained peer tutors
who will work with you to revise writing assignments.

About:

At the Writing Center, peer Writing Consultants are trained to work with students
at all stages of the writing process—brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising—and
on papers across various fields of study. We do not proofread or “fix” papers; instead,
we provide feedback and work intensively with students on higher order topics such
as organization, structure, fulfilling assignment requirements, thesis creation, citation
styles, use of evidence, research strategies, etc. However, we will point out and
discuss patterns of grammatical and mechanical error as necessary. We also assist
students with test-preparation, reading comprehension, and writing resumes, cover
letters, and graduate school applications.

Our goal at the Writing Center is to provide supplementary writing and reading education
in a safe, patient, and nonjudgmental space so that students will feel comfortable
and eager to utilize writing assistance that meets their individual needs.
